Impact@CIIS: Integral Impact INcubator Launch (2021)
Impact@CIIS is launching the Integral Impact Incubator this semester! The incubator will be a relational practice space for aspiring entrepreneurs and creators at CIIS.
Whether you already have an idea like a business venture, a music video, a book, or a therapeutic practice or you don’t have an idea but are interested in creating something, then join us on this emergent integral journey. When you join the Integral Impact Incubator you will:
Engage in fun, creative, and educational workshops
Be paired up with a coach who will guide you as a friend and fellow integral journeyer
Work on your idea, project, or startup
Co-create in an inspiring and supportive community
The incubator will unfold in three stages over the next three months:
February: Stage 1 – Idea Pool
March: Stage 2 – Integral Dive
April: Stage 3 – Participatory Launch
At the end of the Spring semester in May, we will host a Pitch Showcase where participants will have the chance to present their projects to the larger community.
Ultimately, our mission is to create a space for praxis so we can explore all the ways in which we can continue to enable the integral paradigm shift to unfold into the larger world. CIIS provides its students with tremendous philosophical and spiritual depth, so it is becoming evermore vital to consider how we can emulate the breadth of this knowledge beyond the walls of the academy. The Integral Impact Incubator aims to play the role of this practical bridge from academia to society. So we hope you will join us on this experimental journey!
